Morning Meeting

Blessings to you all on this fine Holy Thursday! I hope you've all had a nice day. :)

I wanted to share a picture of the refreshments I served at my "bake sale meeting" this morning. Nothing fancy at all, but still simple and sweet. From left to right, I had homemade corn muffins and frosted pumpkin bread (it was supposed to be carrot bread but EB had opinions on that, lol) ... Trader Joe thumbprints and orange-cranberry scones. There was also a plate of decorated shortbread cookies as well as a bowl of clementines (just to make it all a tad healthier!) and finally, a decanter of pink, springy punch. (In case you haven't noticed, I simply adore punch.)

The meeting went so well ... some dear friends joined me today, and while our kids ran around inside and out, enjoying the fine April weather, we moms enjoyed cups of hot tea and great conversation. I am so grateful to these kind ladies for all their help with this project - the advice, the support, the participation - I am confident it will all come together beautifully.

I am also grateful to Bill, who took the day off so he could "handle" the kids and let us moms talk. (As in, finish sentences. :)) He was a real trooper, and I could not have focused as well as I did if it were not for his help.

Well, a quiet evening is now upon us ... supper's been had, and the sunset is filling the house with its soft golden light ... how I love this time of day! And now that my meeting is behind me - and all that spring cleaning - I feel I can slow down, catch my breath, and "adjust my lens," if you will ... just in time for the final days before Easter ... the most beautiful time of the year.

My friends, I wish you all a happy evening ... I'll see you again very soon!
